December 2022 Memory Verses

Hello!
For our December scripture memorization, I've suggested Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 7:14, and John 1:14, which are just a few of the many verses that point to Jesus birth and life, which is fitting this Christmastime.

As always, I've suggested the ESV version, which is the version I use most often, however, if you have another good word for word translation you enjoy, feel free of course to memorize it in that version.
_
You'll notice that following the verses are some basic themes/topics. I've included those suggestions as I learned many years ago that having at least one theme or topic in mind when you memorize scripture helps you store them in your memory and as you have conversations with others in the future, I can guarantee that as those themes/topics come up, the scripture you've memorized will also come to mind and you may share encouragement from God's Word or re-encourage yourself!
_
May you continue to abide in God's Word through reading, studying, memorization and living it out as vital keys to our growth.
_
Have fun with scripture Memorization! Don't stress about it! And, as always, be in The Word and stay in The Word!
_
You're in my prayers and please reach out if you need any tips.
Your Brother and Servant in Christ,
Randolph Koch
